After long period of independence fighting, India became free from the British regime through a pacifist movement, leaded by Mahatma Gandhi who mobilized masses of people with his serenity and wisdom through the Salt March, showing the possibilities to reach great conquests without violence acts.
Therefore, on August 15th, 1947, India became a Republic, when the First Minister of the Independent India, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru, waved the Indian flag above the Lahori Fort’s gate, in New Delhi.
Nowadays, India is one of the most populous countries in the world and even with many ethnicities, religions and languages, it has one flag, one land, one heart and one nation!
Happy Independence Day of India!
